Beaverhead Forest Service needs to do more for these recreation spots and stop taking so much money.

Great stay

Beautiful cabin. Well taken care of grounds. Loved the area. The stars were amazing. Mosquitoes were awful but that’s the nature and not the cabin. Lol

I have stayed at over 3 dozen FS cabins and this cabin is deplorable. It is absolutely filthy inside, no garbage can for the garbage bags that you must bring even though other cabins smartly provide them, there is NO RUNNING WATER anywhere at the cabin or the campground, the ax handle is split all the way down so you cannot chop wood, no picnic table, the bathroom is filthy, reeks, and they don't stock tp?? There is absolutely no silverware and very minimal dishes, no cleaning supplies as stated. The prison cot mattresses need to be replaced. I realize these are rustic cabins, however when you expect there to be water, cleaning supplies, an ax, tp, etc... This cabin was an extremely disappointing vaca for everyone involved and I will never stay here again!

We snowmobiled in from Jackson for our first visit 1/26-1/28. The trip was a grand adventure and we love the historical connections to Chief Joseph and Lewis and Clark. The route was not totally clear at a few junctions but Onyx was an excellent tool, if you have it. The cabin is clean and has the usual supplies.The woodshed is well stocked with rounds - we split extra to leave for the next guests. Plan to split wood for your stay. There are great loops of winding trails to explore if you have the snow. Heads up to those following us in the next month or so - the snow level was frighteningly low for 7400’ at the end of January and it decreased while we were there. Based on the log entries, it seems visitors are expecting water to be available and are often surprised. Heads up that you should probably bring what you will need..

Beautiful, serene, peaceful, and comfortable. Will definitely visit again.

We had a great time at Bloody Dick. Nice surprise that there were a couple lights. The gas oven does not get very hot but we improvised on the wood stove with our bakeables.

Native Montanan here. Been here twice and I love this cabin. Well stocked with supplies and firewood. Everyone seems to pitch in cleaning or leaving useful supplies for the next person. Floor needs a good mopping and I tried but my swiffer was a little dinky, but it helped a little. Cabin is fenced in and surrounded by lots of trees so you get your own little private slice of paradise! We hiked Selway nearby which was amazing and the cabin is not far from the Continental Divide and other trails. Reservoir lake is very close, no motorized boats allowed so it was very quiet and peaceful. We jumped in the lake (we knew we were late in the season and it would be cold!) but it was so worth it and we were literally the only two people in the lake that day! Remember to take your trash out with you, some people leave their trash behind as “fire starter.” There’s lots of firewood for making kindling at this site so make kindling instead! There is a resident squirrel who lives in the wood pile shed and he might come out and yell at you when you chop wood. We felt bad for taking wood from his home, hopefully there will be enough of a pile for him to reside in this winter!

We have rented this cabin several times before & always enjoy our stay there! The previous renters did not leave the cabin very clean & left a nice little bag of garbage. We always try to leave things cleaner than we find it! Thank you Forest Service for making this great little cabin available!

Updated review since our last two stays. Thank you Dillon Ranger District for redoing the cabin on June 23! The tarp ceiling was replaced with wood, interior repainted, sink now drains, windows cleaned and other misc cleaning done. They also put screws in the cooking area with what appears to be new cooking items. Also there now is a metal bucket and poker to use with the wood stove. We are still rating this as a 5 star stay even though the propane oven still does not work, one propane light does not work and we still think the floor needs plywood placed over it for easier cleaning. Also they cut the water off as last year before September 30. The improvements are enough that we think it overcomes the still needed repairs. A big shout out to the Dillon Ranger District for helping us with an issue we had. We wish the Butte Ranger District was as nice and helpful as you!
